Who Has the Late Night Munchies??

Ok this is a relatively short post, a long one will come later when I have time to update on life....
but it has occurred to me that late night munchies can be a problem....

When it is late at night, after dinner has been consumed, I crave something sweet!  I am a sweet enthusiasts, but I am picky about preparation, flavor, taste, texture.  If it's not perfect I probably won't eat it... What's the point?... thats why I don't like candy all that often, it is too artificial for me....

anyways, back to late night munchies!...

As I was saying, I crave something to round out my sweet tooth, that is satisfying, and in a perfect world "wholesome."

My newest late night resort, a little thing I am calling ... CHOCO CRUNCH!


(aka: masses of fiber cereal are coated in a delicious chocolate, marshmallow, peanut butter shell!)


... it's fiber rich = satiety
... it's sweet = craving satisfaction
... it's chocolaty = delicious!

.... so why not make it???

Here's the Recipe:

2 heaping tbs of butter (any kind will do, I used smart balance, non dairy butter will work too)
1 3/4 cup of marshmallows
1/3 cup of natural peanut butter
3/4 cup of chocolate chips
1 cup of fiber cereal (may need more as stirred)

Place butter and marshmallows in pot.


Stir, on stove top, until melted 3/4 of the way, then add peanut butter and chocolate chips.


Note: as you stir, if you do not achieve the right texture, play with the ingredients, add more butter, marshmallow, chocolate, or peanut butter, depending on how thick you like it.

Once all ingredients create a thick paste, add cereal.


Stir, and poor mix into a lined pan to cool (I put mine in the freezer, for faster results ;).


CHOCO MASS

 Once mix solidifies, break up into munchable sized pieces... enjoy!


There is no excuse not to fill your late night food baby with something super tasty!
